Path description:
On the opposite side of the main road as the church, on the wall of the nearby house we notice signposts for Stolpnik and Črešnjice, which point us over a wooden bridge over the stream Tesnica. On the other side of the stream, we ascend on a steep footpath which leads us between two pastures, and when a little higher we reach the cart track we go left. On the cart track which crosses slopes towards the left we are lightly descending, and we quickly go right upwards, where through a shorter overgrown part we pass into the forest. Through the forest, we follow the blazes, when we higher reach an asphalt road, we go left (road to the right leads to the last house). Next follows a relatively short ascent and the path brings us to the settlement Bezenškovo Bukovje, where on the left side we bypass a bigger chapel. We continue with nice views, and then in a gentle descent, we reach a crossroad, where we go straight across a little wider road. After the crossroad, we go slightly right, and then we start considerably ascending, and higher we go sharply right. Next follows a diagonal ascent towards the right, where the path leads us past several individual houses, and most of the time we are also accompanied by nice views towards Posavsko hribovje. When houses become more dense, we quickly get to the parish church of Our Lady of the Rosary in Črešnjice.
